Miss Ohio 2009: Talent Selections and Platforms!

Last weekend the Miss Ohio contestants met for Spring Forum. This is usual a meeting for the contestants, parents and EDs, to go over the logistics of pageant week, held in a hotel or school. This year in addition to receiving the important information, the contestants spent the night at a 4-H camp and participated in team building exercises. Check out Heather Wells' blog for pictures!

Of course, there was a good amount of debate about this, especially because contestants supposedly had to pay and parents had to either pay for a hotel or drive back and forth. I think I've written before that I am not a fan of forums; after you've been to Miss Ohio once, they become mind-numbing and tedious. I don't think it needs to last more then a few hours, let alone over night and for a fee!

Also new this year, the contestants have been enrolled in The Duke of Edinburgh's Award. I'm not entirely clear on the details of it and don't have an opinion, but here's the website.

And now for the information you really want! I've been sitting on this for a week due to all the Miss USA drama; I give you, the contestant's talent selections and platforms! You'll notice several interesting new choices from returning contestants.
